Man who stole spa in hot water with the law

Isaiah M. Martinez charged

A man who shoplifted a portable spa from a department store is in hot water with the law, officials said.

They report Isaiah M. Martinez walked out of the Walmart at 3722 Easton-Nazareth Highway, Lower Nazareth Township, Northampton County, without paying for the spa and a vacuum cleaner worth a total of $673.88 at about 7:30 p.m. June 11.

Police determined Martinez was the shoplifter by tracing the license plate number of the silver Nissan he drove off in. The car belongs to his girlfriend, who told police Martinez had the car at the time of the theft.
